Develop strong local capacity for sustainable access to research

Building the skills of librarians, ICT professionals and researchers themselves to make the best use of the resources provided.

Supporting the development of robust IT systems in research and academic institutions to ensure that information can be accessed, and researchers can engage with peers across the world.

Access to knowledge assets enhanced research, teaching and learning to levels unprecedented. I am overawed when I try to imagine what the situation would have been like without the INASP programmes over the past years.. [U]sing the knowledge and skills bestowed upon us by INASP, we look forward to rising to the occasion and sustaining effective and efficient access to more knowledge assets in the future.
